Osiris

Osiris is one of Dante's first known angelic weapons in the upcoming DmC: Devil May Cry. Osiris is a light and quick scythe that is both powerful and reliable. It specializes in aerial attacks and its abilities are centered around giving Dante weightlessness and agility in order to move through the air and traverse the environment with ease.

Description
Osiris is a large with a light blue hue to it, which represents its angelic nature. The blade is long and curved, coming off the tip of the snaith at its heel. The snaith itself looks to be made out of wood, and it has two grips protruding from opposite ends that resemble whittled branches. Dante uses these handles to help him spin the weapon while he attacks. The pommel on the bottom of the snaith is the same as the grip of his Rebellion, owing to the weapon's shape-shifting ability. When it is used to attack, it leaves behind a light blue streak in its wake, similar to the color of the weapon.

The Osiris will also have Golden, Bone, and Samurai skins available through DLC that can be acquired for pre-ordering the game.

Gameplay
Osiris is a melee weapon great for crowd control and dealing with numerous enemies at once, thanks to its large sweeping cuts. It is faster than, but also a bit weaker. It has a plethora of attacks on the ground and the air, but it excels in the air, bunching up handfuls of enemies and taking them all out with its wide-reaching combos.

As Dante uses it to attack in quick sequences, Osiris will slowly charge up, denoted by light gleaming near the base of the blade. This gives the weapon more power, rivaling Rebellion's, while still offering all of the scythe's advantages.

Using Osiris's prop attack while facing a long range enemy, the scythe can reflect projectiles back to the enemy (Only tested during the recent PSN and Xbox live demo)

Background
"Osiris " is the name of the Egyptian god of the afterlife. He is often associated with both death and rebirth. His most famous event was when his jealous brother Set murdered Osiris over the throne and cut his body to pieces to ensure he would never return. Fortunately, he was reconstructed by Isis and became the new god of the underworld.
